Today, the DEA raided Holistic Solutions in Richmond and Clearlake. They may have also raided Holistic Solutions in San Mateo. Several employees were arrested. By the time ASA confirmed the raids, they were over so we were not able to alert the community to come out to protest.

Also, several media outlets are reporting that the DEA is raiding several marijuana grow sites in the Bay Area. It is unclear if these raids are connected to the dispensary raids or if they are medical sites.

We will be discussing the raids and other issues at the East Bay ASA meeting tonight - hope to see you there.
